Every once in a while
somebody comes up with
statistics that ‘‘prove’’ young
people cause more accidents
than any other age group,
such as drivers under 21
make up 10 per cent of the
drivers and have 28 per cent
of the accidents. —~

It has been suggested a
number of times that the
driving age be raised to 18.
This week the Inquiring
Reporter asks, ‘‘Should the
driving age be raised to 18?”’

No, I don’t think so. A 16
year old person can be as
responsible as an 18 year old.

Six

students have heen
hired by West Vancouver
Police Dept., to canyass
West Vancouver marinas and
urge boat owners to mark
their marine eauinment for
identification.

The group, headed by third
year law student Mike
Scholz, 23, is funded jointly
by a Federai grani of $10,000
from the Office of the
Solicitor General and

Canada Mannower to employ
the students over the sum-
mer.

similarly to the Operation
Identification program, in-
clues fish rods,depth sound-
er, motors, ‘‘or even the boat
for that matter,”’’
spokesman said. .

The boatowner’s social
security number, which cor-

responds. to the inscribed

number on the property, will
‘be fed into a ‘sophisticated
computer system that is
linked directly with Ottawa,
and indirectly with Wash-
‘ington, D.C.

It’s hard to say. People
differ in degree of maturity.
There probably would be less
accidents if the driving age

was raised to 18.

if you want to know what is
happening on the North
Shore this summer, where it
is happening and how you
can join in, call your focal
Neighbourhood Information
Centre. There are _ four

“centres on the North Shore:

If stolen, the unit could be
traced anywhere in Canada
and even North America, the
spokesman said.

Summer Fun Playground
Program is operating again
this summer at various West

Vancouver playgrounds.
Children ages six through 12
are welcome to come and
play, participate in games,
organized sports, arts and
crafts, special events, excur-
sion outings and more. At
each playground the leaders
will orgnize activities, ac-
cording to the interest of the
children, so that programs
may vary from playground to
playground.

The program is organized
by the West Van Parks and

Recreation Commission.
Registration takes place
Monday, July 4 at the

Recreation Centre (22nd and
Marine) and at the following.
playgrounds: Cypress Park,
Parc Verdun, West Bay,
Chartwell School and Glen-
more School. The fee is $5
(excursions extra).

The playground leaders
are knowledgeable in the
organizing of many active
games, that children really
enjoy, many of which are
non-traditional games and
are a refreshing change from
those usually played. In
addition the playgrounds
have facilities for soccer, soft
ball, cossum hockey and
volleyball.

Arts and crafts are an
important activity, with pro-
jects ranging from tie dye,

print making and macrame to

| clay modelling, puppet craft

and candle making. Some

group activity crafts are”

being planned, including
sculpture, murals and foot-
painting.

Every week each play-

“ground has an excursion.
Possible excursions are pic-.

nic-hikes, swim parties,
museum and gallery visits, a

trip to a farm, a day’s outing
‘to U.B.C. to see the dairy
barn, a Braille demonstra-

tion, and a hike through the’

Endowment Lands, roller

skating, fishing, to mention a
few.

The Playground Program
has special events for child-
ren all through the summer,
including bicycle rallies and
rodeos, ice cream parties,
puppet shows, drama (pres-
ented by the children),
movies, games days and
tournaments.

This year the playground
program will include a
special exercise program
entitled KIDS IN ACTION.
This program will be com-
posed of running, (fun.
runs—a non-competitive run
that encourages participation
of all age groups. Parents are
invited to join us in running),
plus exercises geared for
children, to help. improve
fitness. A fitness instructor
will visit each* playground
several times a week with
information on fitness and
will ensure that the programs
are geared to the needs and
requirements of the individ-
ual children.

The playgrounds will op-
erate mostly outdoors, but
facilities (gyms, classrooms
and field houses) are avail-
able for games and crafts on
tainy days.

No, I don’t see that that

would help. There are lots of .
